"I would highly recommend Saint Francis Rehabilitation and Nursing Center. Mom has been there three times and they go above and beyond. They seem like a very caring and attentive staff. They attend to all the residents' needs. They help Mom, they don’t leave her side, and they encourage her. All the people there are very professional and they know what they're doing. The food seems to be very good, the entertainment is wonderful, and they have a really nice patio to sit out on. They're spot on with everything that they're doing, and we have been very pleased with them."

"My dad has been in the rehab portion of Mineral Springs of North Conway Care and Rehabilitation Center. Overall, it is very good. The building itself and the staff members are very nice and very pleasant. The dining rooms are very comfortable, and there are places where a resident can go and get out of the room for much of the day if they want to. The physical therapy is great. It is pretty good. Mineral Springs is a comfortable place. The rooms are a little bit small, but my dad does get out of the room when he wants to and go to another location, so he doesn’t have to stay in the room the whole time. I’ve seen the people coming in there and keeping everything clean. He has plenty of closet space. "

"My grandmother was diagnosed with Alzheimer's years before her stay at the Newton Center. She stayed there for a short stay, having only been there for rehabilitation. The staff were a mixed bunch; some were very kind and full of smiles, while others seemed to think most of the patients were bothersome, but I suppose those mixed attitudes can be found almost anywhere. The facility was kept clean, although at one point my grandmother's stuffed animal went missing. However, the social worker assigned to my grandmother was more than willing to track it down for her. All in all, it was a nice place for her to stay in even though I wish the nurses would react to the patients' needs a little more quickly. "

"The first thing that I noticed when entering this facility were well kept grounds and many active older people. I was surprised at the number of staff on hand. At first it seemed a little excessive. After being there for a while, I noticed that the staff were in almost constant motion (though not in a chaotic way at all) and seemed to be truly happy at work. One older gentleman informed me that the food was a lot better than he had expected. Everyone that we spoke to (inclusive of the nurse that gave us a tour) was polite and we were treated like guests in a home instead of potential clients... I liked that.Overall I would not rate it higher because of the harsh winter climate and an awful choice in paint colours. "

"My husband is very satisfied at Greenwood Center, although I am not satisfied, sometimes. He is eating everything and anything, which surprises me. He is so fat. There were only a couple of times where he told them that there are certain things he didn’t want to eat, and they have made a note and didn’t serve it to him. The staff and the help are friendly. It’s clean and the service is good, too. I have attempted to move him before, but I wouldn’t attempt it now. At the beginning, he wanted to come home all the time, and now he doesn’t even mention it. "

"The staff in this facility have been kind, attentive, caring and sincere with the care of my family member. They treat her as if she was a family member of their own. Upon my visits (announced or not) I have never found her in a condition that was unacceptable. The facility appears to have all that she needs to be comfortable and happy. There are many opportunities for activities and socialization. They even have cats that are permanent residents who are well loved, too. I am very happy that she is locally accessible to visit and happy with her stay. "

"very responsive staff. We were happy with all staff members. Much better than we read about in other reviews "
